IDEATION INTRODUCTION
So far students have developed the skills, sensibilities and competencies that allow them to objectively view, analyze, and represent three-dimensional reality through the practice of drawing. Now they are equipped to apply this knowledge into the realm of the imagination. In this open-ended exercise students will work with the instructor and propose their own individual project program and work plan. This is the first opportunity to apply their knowledge of drawing practice and conventions, in a more creative manner. The standards of evaluation will be tailored individually and determined by the success in accomplishing the particular project objectives as agreed by student and instructor.
In this portion of the course we will explore the process of inspiration and concept, method, and finished drawing. Through this process the goal is to expand the boundaries of drawing while seeking to find personal voice. Below are several examples of artists approaching drawing and ideas from different perspectives.
THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH
Our project is to use this theme in regard to the human race. What would it be like to be the last person on Earth? What would it mean to be the last example of the human race? Is it a post- apocalyptic environment? Do you try and prolong your life by any means necessary? Is it a cosmic Joke?
There are multiple ways to approach this theme. Some inspiration in movies and art are below.

VALUE SCALE
A Value Finder- a tool to assist in discerning a true isolated value amidst many. This tool allows the viewer to locate the value within the viewing hole and see it unaffected. Within most complex value relationships of a subject, there is a lot of simultaneous contrast, and fluting making it difficult to see accurately.
